Those who find it difficult to concentrate upon the internal sounds of the body should take support of external sound of soothing music. After playing musical instruments like sitara or ikatara or flute etc, or, after listening to their soft, soothing music with the help of a tape recorder for about 10 to 15 minutes in a quiet room, the sadhaka should close his ears and attempt mental perception of the echo of the same musical sound. He should repeat this cycle several times every day for gradually longer durations (not more than an hour). He should keep the mind stress-free. Slowly and steadily, the mind would get trained to naturally 'play or listen' this music internally without the help of any external devices.

The Pacific Ocean remains calm because of lighter pressure of air and more concentration of salt as compared to the Atlantic Ocean, where the currents of water usually rise very high and are prone to storms. The hard-hearted people are like the Pacific Ocean; their emotions remain dull in spite of mental inspirations. The soft and compassionate ones are just the opposite. Like the waves in the Atlantic Ocean, their emotional currents are easily activated and rise high by the force of divine inspirations. The emotional piety and mental determination together lend extraordinary support in the sadhanas of different tanmatras.

The sadhakas who have aggressive mentality or who are emotionally rude, often find it difficult to perform the sadhanas of mastery over the tanmatras. The training with the help of music that is specifically designed for the Nada Yoga Sadhanas (of the shabdatanmatra), however, works wonderfully on such sadhakas too. It is said that the poisonous 'snake' of the vicious, agile mind also begins to 'dance' in the tune of the bina of holy Nada and comes under proper control by musical practices of Nada Yoga. This is because sonorous, soft music generates a soothing impact on the sentimental core of the listener. The simple exercises associated with the practice of Nada Yoga indeed offer peace and stability to the sadhaka's mind and help in enlightening his intrinsic emotional and mental qualities necessary for higher-level sadhanas.
